It's safe to say that no president's wife has been treated more disrespectfully and disgracefully than Melania Trump, who exited the White House on Wednesday after four tumultuous years.
Throughout history, several first ladies – notably, Rachel Jackson, Mary Todd Lincoln, Edith Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan – were attacked or criticized on personal or political grounds, sometimes viciously so by their husbands' political foes. Yet, in more recent times, the general rule became that first ladies were basically untouchable unless they were working for the administration in an official role, as was the case with Hillary Clinton when she chaired President Clinton's health care task force in 1993.

The liberal media did not embrace her. They didn't like her politics. Even having a great body and nice looks was not sufficient for them to embrace her. She could be Marilyn Monroe and they would have shunned her. What she should do now is shun them. You see, they might try to embrace her now that she's no longer in the White House, sort of like a mass mea culpa moment.
If I were her, I would show them the back of my hand and the hind end of my heels.

I hope Trump sets up a publishing company and begins by publishing her book. I know I would read it. I doubt she will write one.

The media can continue getting its jollies by sucking up to Melania's big-ass predecessor. Whew!

A kind, beautiful, elegant woman. I thought of her grace when I watched Jillburger walk like a washerwoman on Wednesday.

The source of the venom came from lowlife demons, most of whom are sorely unattractive and live miserable, wretched lives; who cares what they think? Really. They are not the arbiters of anything decent or good. If they treat you badly, it's a badge of honor.

What on earth will they be able to say about Dr Jill's Filene's Basement inaugural night get up? If she's setting the style for the new biden era "I'll take vanilla"...as my late witty mom used to say.
Never once was Milania not dressed appropriately and conducted herself graciously in her role as FLOTUS...even though it was a role she never wanted. I'm sure she's happy to be out of there and I wish her and the entire Trump family all the best.

"A washerwoman"! Excellent and accurate, poster #5. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but you nailed it.

This alone will make Trump dangerous to the left on the outside.

Too little too late Joe Concha. Nothing will now make up for not one statement from the Republican party in response to the bullying and abuse. After the fact, we always see these type stories. The damage was done.

Jill's is a nice looking woman but has no style sense. She's very dated.

She is lovely, beautiful, and incredibly rich with a darling vivacious husband and a gorgeous intelligent son. She needs these people like she needs a raging case of hemorrhoids... only hemorrhoids would be far more pleasant than spending one minute with the dumpster sludge that is the Lib press.

The Roman Catholic Church Catechism has an article about people who are Spiritually Dead. The definition might include the Media.

A few years ago the media was on the warpath against bullying. Then Trump became the President and suddenly all that posturing ended while they tormented every member of the Trump family and openly despised his supporters. Now, like clockwork all the anti-bullying posturing will begin again as the media slobbers all over Jill Biden, Kamala Harris and their families. And for the record, Brian Stelter, you are no prize.

The media is in no position to "scorn" or "mistreat" anybody. They are so low that anyone they comment on is automatically better than them

The irony is that any magazine or any talk show which featured Melania would have exceeded their wildest expectations in circulation or ratings. But it was a media blackout of that beautiful and lovely woman. I looked for 4 years at covers of Meghan and Kate (are we British subjects?) and retreads of Michelle. Never Melania. And never did I buy any of them. But I am very sad for her.

She was very gracious and a wonderful example. The media are such hateful beasts and vermin they couldn't see it because they never looked. But they will promote anything with a D next to their name.

But then look at the media. What are they - a bunch of old hags who have been around forever and dirty old men with no respect for others - just their crowd of snobs and elitists.

Greed, jealousy, and envy are part of the Seven Deadly Sins. There are some ugly vile woman out there.
Our lovely 'former' first lady will be missed. Unlike thunder thighs, she didn't waste taxpayer money flying to everywhere on her bucket list with everybody she could jam into a plane.

Melania knows how shallow the media is. She worked in it for years, but then found someone who loved her and together they raised a handsome young man. She travels in a world her detractors will never know, but she also has the advantage of knowing how hard the world can be by growing up in a totalitarian state. The love and admiration from millions of generous, real Americans is a strong rebuttal of the petty remarks from bitter, small people. We will always be grateful for the sacrifice she took on to fight the evil in this country.

Not her fault, but the narrow mindedness of Liberal media.

My guess is Melanie never reads or watches the farrrr left sites. All she has to do is look in the mirror to see her beauty. She’s beautiful inside & out. I learned a long time ago if people trash you for no reason they have the problem not you. Jealousy is a sickness.

And now we have an adulteress as wife of president, who is also an adulterer. They were having an affair when both were married. And yet the media swoons over them! Go figure! (Are they both good Catholics?)

Where have you been for the last four years, Mr.Concha? We should have seen articles like this on a daily basis.

When Michelle Obama dresses in the strangest, ill-fitting outfits I've ever seen (like the yellow curtain "dress" and spangle thigh boots) is praised to the skies as "fashionable" and Melania Trump whose clothes always fit and flatter her is ignored and who is even boycotted by famous designers, you know it is political. I've only talked about things 100% within their control - what clothes they put on their backs.
For a reminder, here's the yellow dress and spangle boots: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=michelle+obama+in+yellow+sack+and+spangle+thigh+boots&t=chromentp&atb=v197-1&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn2.newsok.biz%2Fcache%2Flarge960_blur-5d6ae57f05e0cc9fac75361274d86027.jpg

Mooch ran the departments of Gardening, Decoration, Style, Vacations, Child Indoctrination, Racism and General Hatred so they treated her with the proper respect.
